Posted April 28, 2021 Hi, I am currently building a pc and need some help picking a CPU with integrated graphics that doesn't cost too much but can has good frames and can be later used on a GPU. I'm currently thinking about getting the AMD Ryzen 5 3400G but I don't know if it would be suitable for gaming. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 28, 2021 I would recommend the i5 11400 as it has great performance in gaming as well as integrated graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 28, 2021 The Vega 11 iGPU on the 3400G will outperform the Xe graphics on the 11th gen Intel, but either is decent for low res light gaming.

Posted April 28, 2021 There should be a contender in the form of AMD "Cezanne" APUs with iGPUs soon? Have not followed the Cezanne launch, but on AMD page it indicates that they have launched. I think that would be a good one - https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-5-5600g I edit my posts more often than not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but the i5 11400 will be a better CPU for gaming when combined with a descrete graphics card If you want me to answer, please use the quote function or tag me.

Posted April 28, 2021 Suprisingly older amd 7000 series card haven't gone up too much in price so maybe get one of those + a decent cpu better experience overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the new APUs from AMD @Tan3l6mentioned are available, no. The 3400G and 11th gen Intels are the current top of the line with iGPU.
